Peru has long been recognized as a UFO Hotspot by Ufologists and researchers alike.

Some believe that archaeological wonders such as the Nazca lines and Machu Picchu are evidence that ancient astronauts visited the area and are possibly still visiting today.

On top of its rich archaeological connection and a large populace that holds an interest in the phenomenon, Peru stands out as a country that takes UFO sightings very seriously.

Machu Picchu is of such an incredible size, proportion and architectural sophistication that it’s hard to imagine that it was built by a race that had not yet discovered the wheel or iron tools or bulldozers and cranes. Without the aid of technology, some theorize seems unlikely that mere human effort could shape, move and place such large rocks together perfectly, on the top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Instead, the rumours go – perhaps the Incas had outside help from visitors from outer space, or maybe Machu Picchu was built entirely by ancient aliens. And then eventually the extraterrestrial marched back into their ship and went back to Mars or wherever they came from, leaving behind evidence of their damn fine engineering prowess. It’s far-fetched, but would explain the advanced technical skill and understanding of astronomy evident in the city as well as the subsequent mysterious abandonment. Aliens -1, Archaeology – 0 ?
